Postgresql Installation using source code in

linux
Package Requirements :
1. Make
2. GCC c compiler
3. Tar
4. Readline,readline-devel
5. Zlib,zlib-devel
6. Bison
7. flex

Optional

Libperl
Phyton
Tcl
Gettext
Kerberos, openssl, openldap, pam

User
default / de facto standar for software owner is postgres, used to running the process as a user, this
postgres user also different from super user on postgreSQL instance

[root@localhost ~]# useradd postgres

[root@localhost ~]# passwd postgres

Changing password for user postgres.

New password:

BAD PASSWORD: it is based on a dictionary word

Retype new password:

passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.

Installaer file Download software source code


There is 3 files, file source code file in .tar.gz format, a md5 file, an a sha256 file
postgresql-9.5.3.tar.gz.md5
postgresql-9.5.3.tar.gz.sha256
postgresql-9.5.3.tar.gz

extract source code file and go to directory

Program Installation step

1. run ./configure , this step is used to check the environment if any library need to be install first

[root@localhost postgresql-9.5.3]# ./configure

checking build system type... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu

checking host system type... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu

~~

config.status: linking src/backend/port/dynloader/linux.h to src/include/dynloader.h

config.status: linking src/include/port/linux.h to src/include/pg_config_os.h

config.status: linking src/makefiles/Makefile.linux to src/Makefile.port

[root@localhost postgresql-9.5.3]#

If you see above output then configure step is ok and no problem

2. running command make , this with compile the source code

make[2]: Leaving directory `/source/postgresql-9.5.3/src/test/regress'

make[1]: Leaving directory `/source/postgresql-9.5.3/src'

make -C config all

make[1]: Entering directory `/source/postgresql-9.5.3/config'

make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.

make[1]: Leaving directory `/source/postgresql-9.5.3/config'

All of PostgreSQL successfully made. Ready to install.

3. Running command make install, default installation path will be in /user/local/pgsql


make[1]: Entering directory `/source/postgresql-9.5.3/config'

/bin/mkdir -p '/usr/local/pgsql/lib/pgxs/config'

/usr/bin/install -c -m 755 ./install-sh '/usr/local/pgsql/lib/pgxs/config/install-sh'

/usr/bin/install -c -m 755 ./missing '/usr/local/pgsql/lib/pgxs/config/missing'

make[1]: Leaving directory `/source/postgresql-9.5.3/config'

PostgreSQL installation complete.

4. DO initDB to create data directory and starting postgresql instance to start up


As root create pgdata directory
Mkdir /pgdata
Chown R postgres:postgres /pgdata
Su postgres

[postgres@localhost bin]$ ./initdb -D /pgdata


The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "postgres".
This user must also own the server process.

~~
WARNING: enabling "trust" authentication for local connections
You can change this by editing pg_hba.conf or using the option -A, or
--auth-local and --auth-host, the next time you run initdb.

Success. You can now start the database server using:

./pg_ctl -D /pgdata -l logfile start

5. Running the process using pg_ctl command

Start instance

[postgres@localhost bin]$ ./pg_ctl -D /pgdata start

server starting

[postgres@localhost bin]$ LOG: database system was shut down at 2016-06-03 00:44:47 WIB

LOG: MultiXact member wraparound protections are now enabled

LOG: database system is ready to accept connections


LOG: autovacuum launcher started

6. Check if process started


Using root

Ps ef |grep postgres

[root@localhost local]# ps -ef |grep postgres


root 18475 3757 0 00:39 pts/1 00:00:00 su - postgres
postgres 18476 18475 0 00:39 pts/1 00:00:00 -bash
